Yongnuo YN565EX II | Flash for Canon

Yongnuo YN565EX II is an excellent companion for your top of the line Canon digital SLR camera, letting you produce amazing and breathtaking photos. It is fully powered and fully featured. Although Yongnuo released YN568EX II model, YN565EX II still remains one of most popular flashes though. This is because it offers an economical option for people not requiring HSS, but also because it has a high voltage port for external battery packs, which the higher model YN568EX unfortunately lacks.

When used off-camera it is easily triggered by camera’s with built-in commander modes or other speedlights with master TTL functionality or as a simple optical slave with instant sync or skip pre-flash settings.

The flash offers a variety of other useful features, including a wide-angle diffusion panel and a bounce card built into the head. Other capabilities are a modeling light function and sound prompt for audible notifications on flash status. The LCD panel assists in viewing settings and the flash will recycle in about 3 seconds.
